Chapter 38

"Let's hurry and report to the old man~"

The cheap-sounding voice said again.

"Hmm, it won't take long before he can completely control Kirigakure."

As the hoarse voice responded, a "monster" walked out from the darkness.

The conversation sound just now also came from this "monster."

I saw this strange-looking thing had an appearance similar to a human, but had a unique organ like a pitcher plant.

At the same time, the entire appearance presented two colors, black and white; it seemed to be a whole, but it also seemed to be two completely different parts.

It looked extremely disharmonious.

The "one" or "two" monster no longer continued to talk nonsense, and immediately activated its ability to escape toward a deeper place underground.

Since Mizunuki Ryosuke's squad resumed work, more than half a month had passed.

During this period, relying on the excellent strength of the squad members, the team had already completed two missions, which could be considered a certain degree of grinding for the team.

Because it was an elite-level squad, naturally it was not like Team 7 in the original work, doing D-rank missions like helping old grandmothers cross the road and finding cats and dogs.

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's advocacy, they completed one C-rank mission of clearing out mountain bandits and one B-rank mission of escorting a merchant caravan.

During the escort process, they encountered attacks from several defecting Takigakure ninjas.

In the process of fighting side by side, the squad members could be considered to have an understanding of each other.

Especially Terumi Mei and Mizunuki Hikari, who also gave Mizunuki Ryosuke the label of "a gentle, world-contending, and extremely steady person" in their hearts.

But just today, the village suddenly issued a mission to the squad, and Mizunuki Ryosuke was also summoned by the Mizukage.

After accepting the mission, the squad members set off as a group.

It is worth mentioning that the content of the mission was a bit strange.

Because the content was to hunt down a defecting ninja!

"Captain, why is the mission to hunt down a defecting ninja arranged for us?"

On the road, Terumi Mei asked Mizunuki Ryosuke in confusion, her exposed left eye full of puzzled looks.

Terumi Mei's question was not without reason.

Work like hunting down defecting ninjas generally would never be the turn of a ninja squad to complete.

Because there is an Anbu specifically responsible for this type of work.

And such missions generally involve a wide range of issues, and may even involve secrets, so it would never be the turn of ordinary ninjas.

On the other side, although Mizunuki Hikari still raised his head as if disdainful, his ears were pricked high; it looked like he was also very confused about this question.

Only Takeda Yoichi still had a simple smile.

"A mission is a mission, just execute it."

"Ninja Code Article 6, only do what the mission requires."

But who knew that Mizunuki Ryosuke's face stiffened, and he rejected Terumi Mei's words as if he were an old pedant.

"Oh..."

Seeing Mizunuki looking serious, Terumi Mei had no choice but to lower her head in disappointment.

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just rubbed Terumi Mei's head, and looking at the loli rolling her eyes, revealed a gentle smile.

Not letting them know was for their own good.

Among this, how could it be so simple.

Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to recall the scene in the Mizukage's office again.
